Leigh & Tegan Answer Your Questions

As parents we have so many things to think about, so much on our plate that when sometimes the tiniest, littlest, mildly annoying thing happens it can absolutely feel like the straw that broke the camel's back. Enter: mum rage.

If you're nodding reading this, or find yourself experiencing the mum rage from time to time, then this episode is for you!

We speak to Chantelle Ellem, the blogger behind Fat Mum Slim, and she shares with us her advice for taming the mum rage.

Plus, Leigh's nails and fails.

The Mental Load: Taming Mum Rage

When Alex Horder’s daughter Frankie entered the world two months early, she spent eight weeks in the NICU, but it would be another four months before they realised something wasn’t quite right. 

Frankie was having up to 300 seizures a day, and now time has passed, Alex opens up to us about her experience, and coming to terms with how life looks a little different then expected, and the one this she wants every parent to know.

Plus, our nails and fails which include low iron and singing lessons.
